I read somewhere that Cui’s trial was quashed for “ethical studies”. Big Med is probably trying to protect terminal patients from “false hope”.

Bravo! A small facility in South Florida has picked up the ball and run with it. Since this company is less dependent on drugs, they’re probably less subject to pressure from Big Pharma.

The clinical trial has moved to a South Florida Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplant company with a plan to handle 29 cancer patients. I think they may each need to supply the $150k or so to fund the trial. I heard that it worked once on a patient who was getting the apheresis treatment to cure a bacterial infection and just picked blood donors who were cancer resistant as well as healthy with active white blood cells. But the trial results will not be released until the trial is finished and evaluated and written up.

I think it is going to cure most if not all of those cancers and then all hell breaks loose. Oncology will be very different and then we get to try to figure out how it works. It should be pretty easy to check if a person is among the ten or fifteen percent of people who are resistant in the summer. Just put some of their leukocytes in a petri dish with some cancer cells and see if they kill the cancer cells.

Of course you have to mismatch HLA to make sure the leukocytes don’t take up residence and cause graft versus host disease. That would be bad.

What are the metabolic differences in neutrophils and macrophages that kill cancers and those that don’t? Can we find nutrients or drugs that enhance anyone’s white blood cells to do it? Then we could stop the donor selection and transfusion process with all its potential problems.

Still, I’ll be pretty happy to see cancer be even awkwardly curable.

Tom, It has now been about one year since Dr. Zheng Cui, the lead investigator, and his team at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine announced the move to human clinical trials Saturday at the Understanding Aging Conference in Los Angeles. The team won approval for human trials from the Food and Drug Administration. Dr Cui is a biochemist, not a physician. He can be found at the University of Wake Forest, CUI, ZHENG J in WINSTON SALEM, NC. You might wish to contact him. I have not seen any real progress published in any reputable professional peer journals. I wish him success.

It started off as a fluke with one mouse not developing cancer. They used him to breed other cancer immune mice and used their cells to cure other mice. I read about that last year. It may not translate to human studies and does anybody know someone that is immune to cancer?

Appreciate how someone is going to all my answers and giving me the thumbs down. It lets me know how correct my answers really are. If you want proof, just shoot me an email. I’ll be more than happy to oblige.
